Brief Answer:
Migraine

Detailed Answer:
Here are a few suggestions that may help you manage migraines while at work or using screens:

Maintain a consistent routine: Establish regular sleep patterns, meal times, and breaks to help regulate your body's internal clock.

Minimize screen time: If possible, reduce the amount of time you spend in front of screens. Take short breaks every 20-30 minutes, looking away from the screen and focusing on a distant object for a few seconds.

Adjust screen settings: Modify your screen's brightness, contrast, and color temperature to reduce eye strain. Consider using blue light-blocking glasses or installing software that filters blue light.

Create a conducive environment: Ensure your workspace is well-lit with indirect lighting. Dim or flickering lights can trigger migraines for some individuals.

Stay hydrated: Dehydration can contribute to headaches, so drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Manage stress: Find relaxation techniques that work for you, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or stretching. Engaging in stress-reducing activities during breaks can help alleviate migraines.

Optimize ergonomics: Ensure your workstation is ergonomically designed. Maintain good posture, use an ergonomic chair, position your screen at eye level, and use a supportive keyboard and mouse.
